Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

My dad and his brother have a 300 acre farming partnership. We would like to split some of the land up so their kids could build a house on some of the land. We have a 16 1/2 acre parcel of ground that we would like to split. It contains 5 acres of a field and 11 1/2 acres of woods. We want to split the woods in half so each partner gets their own 5 3/4 parcel of woods. The field would stay with the farming partnership. Is this possible? if not what are our options?
